I think, keeping binary data separate from XML text (if you can) would be a better choice - one reason being binary to base64 encoding most of time may increase the final data size.

What use is there for putting unqueriable large datatypes into a DOM? Len http://www.mp3.com/LenBullard Ekam sat.h, Vipraah bahudhaa vadanti. Daamyata. Datta. Dayadhvam.h -----Original Message----- From: Darshan Singh [mailto:darshan@P...] IMHO, CDATA section is not a good way to hold binary data (because then you'll never be able to represent three byte sequence '5D 5D 3E' (hexr for ']]>'). To save binary data as part of XML you'll have to use Base64 encoding. I don't have Java code that illustrates that, but following article might be useful just to get an idea: XML and binary data http://www.PerfectXML.com/articles/xml/binary.asp
